The CECA Y&H Foundations Group is aimed at nurturing junior talent in civil engineering and related roles—through learning, networking, mentoring, volunteering, and community engagement. The group aims to:
-
Promote civil engineering careers to young people and new entrants.
-
Support early-career professionals through networking, mentoring, CPD, and volunteer events.
-
Bring together professionals in commercial, operations, estimating, communications, and more.
- Inform future direction and strategy for CECA
The Group was formed in 2024 to foster support for those starting out in the industry, and hosts quarterly meet‑ups that include guest speakers and site visits. The Group recently volunteered with local environment and conservation projects, including local river clean‑ups .
The Group is chaired by Matthew Roulson, Senior Quantity Surveyor at Esh Group, who oversees events, CPD, mentoring, and outreach.
